Bowuigi soulmate AU where humans and Koopa’s have different ways to tell Soulmates, humans have first words their soulmate speaks to them and Koopas tell at first touch.

So Luigi knows they are soulmates first time they meet Bowser and he threatens them and is freaking out at the time because 1) Bowser is trying to kill them and 2) He’s his soulmate!

After Luigi stops freaking out he starts thinking if he should say something, what he should do? He’s not sure how this works especially when 1 knows and the other doesn’t. He’s thinking about telling him but then Bowser kidnaps Peach again and talks about marrying her and Luigi thinks that maybe it’s a non-requited bond that Bowser clearly loves Peach.

So Luigi doesn't tell anyone not even his brother and is just quiet about it.

Bowser has no idea as he has never touched Luigi he always fights Mario and the green one is nearly always hiding or dealing with his minions.

That is until one fight where he decides to use the green one as a hostage... or throw him at Mario and then leave in the chaos... only as soon as he grabs the green one a mark appears on his palm and he just kinda blue screens... Mario knocks him down but also sees the mark and suddenly is freaking out. Luigi has already disappeared just realizing the bond is requited? But that can’t work Bowser loves Peach.

Mario of course talks to Luigi and is shocked he could think his bond was unrequited he’s awesome! and when Luigi starts talking down on himself Mario is instantly like Nope not happening your awesome and you deserve to happy. 

Basically wing man Mario who just wants his brother to be happy with his soulmate. No matter who his soulmate is. He is ready to storm the castle to tell Bowser to take his brother on a date.

Bowser freaking out and going into denial while Kamek is torn between so happy Bowser has a soulmate and shocked over who it is (And then after looking into him very approving) Bowser Jr finding out and goign to give shovel talk to Luigi but Luigi ends up going dad mode.

Mario comes in to check on his brother and sees Jr at kitchen table eating snacks and drawing happily. While Luigi is making them hot chocolate.

Bowser Jr: Hello stupid Mario I came here to threaten the green one.

Mario:Ah yes I see that.

I'll Never Let You Go - Art Challenge

Hello there! I just wanted to share a little art challenge I had in mind for this story that I'm sharing. It is a long fanfiction that follows the events of Super Mario Galaxy if you're interested in reading 🌟

If you'd like to participate as the story unfolds, I have a little challenge for you:

O~o~O

Take any character/group that appears in the story (or game), and draw them looking up at the comet like Mario is in the cover!

O~o~O

The characters who physically appear in the story so far don't deviate from Canon. And I don't have a preference for who you draw, even if you want to draw your favorite boss, the most minor of enemies, or even Mario again! Here is a list of some of the major characters that appear just to give some ideas:

Mario, Luma (or Lumas), Princess Rosalina, the Toad Brigade, Luigi, Bowser Jr., King Bowser, and Princess Peach!

One final thing; this project has a hard deadline. If you would like to participate, please share it here on Tumblr, tag me and the project with #INLYG Art Challenge, and have it shared before August 8th! That's 08/08/2024 ✨️

Thank you!!

I really don't know what to caption this. I just wanted to draw Mario protecting Bowser Jr.

[factual-fantasy]

27 asks! :00 Thanks ya'll!! :} 💖💖💖

Nope! Sorry, I don't take direct drawing requests or suggestions. <:/

Now I hear a few people saying; "But you've taken requests before" Now I do draw things in response to asks sometimes. But its rarely a direct request that I'm responding to. Usually its someone complimenting me on "something" and I feel so flattered and inspired that I draw that "something" again for them..

Would you think less of me if I said I legitimately was? For what I think is a very valid reason? Hypothetically of course-

@wolfie-777

:DD Oh hey!! Thanks!! Happy early Easter!! :}}} 💖🥚🥚🐺🥚💖

Oh there's no need to worry Anon, my body is kind'a forcing me to take a break... 😅

@yourstrulylightstar283 (In response to this post)

Thank you! And no worries, I'm sure I wont have to deal with all of this forever <:}

Happy late reply Friday! <XDD

@midnight193

Aww! Sweet widdol baby!! :DD

And thank you, I'm doing my best to take it easy.. <:}

Woof. That is quite the sentence to say to someone who's grieving their late wife-

Its especially strange considering that my Bowser isn't in love with Peach at all and isn't interested in replacing his wife-

I've heavily considered Louis having a crush on Ellie... 👀👀

The biggest eater is probably Louis, followed by Seafoam. Now Seafoam is no glutton mind you, he just eats a ton because he's so big and tall. He's got a lot of muscle that needs to be fed and maintained. Louis however just loves food and loves to eat <XDD

The pickiest eaterr.... couuuld be Red. Kids am I right? <XD Or maybe Spidercrab. He's rather thin so I imagine there isn't much he likes to eat. <:/ Or maybe Spidercrab isn't picky, he just doesn't have much appetite--?? <:DD

Aww! What a fun idea! :D I wonder if the game has anything like that.. and I wonder how a land animal like that would fare out on the ocean :0

(In response to this post)

Y-You realy mean all dat?.. Thank you.. 🥺😭💖

@manybrokenquills

XDD I am everywhere

(Also if you ever feel like getting those photos those would be hilarious to see XDD)

@rubyplayz12

YA- AWWWW... :(( sorry about the lost progress! I hope you catch back up to where you were pretty quick :( But YAY YOU HAVE IT BACK! XDD

A marshmallow cookie and a S'mores cookie already exist in the game :( so I shan't make my own 😔

I'm still working out the order of their ages.. So far I have decided that Ludwig is the oldest. And I'm leaning on Iggy being right below him, the second to oldest.

I'm solid on Bowser JR being the youngest, and Lemmy being right above him, the second to youngest. As for everyone else though..? I'm still trying to figure it out.

Thinking that Roy and Morton are on the older side, and Wendy and Larry are on the younger side. I just don't quite know what the order will be-

Hmm... I want Larry to be very different looking from Lemmy, maybe a bigger age gap would help. And I made Roy rather mature.. he could be older.. hmm...

Mayyybe.. in order from oldest to youngest, it goes,

Ludwig - Iggy - Roy - Morton - Larry - Wendy - Lemmy - JR..? I think I'll go with that for now <XDD

Now Bowser is complicated. Originally I wanted Bowser to be this ruthless monster. Both as a King and as a Dad.. But I made that Bowser around when the Movie trailers were all the hype. And boy, I hated how Bowser was shaping up to be. So my rotten Bowser was mostly just to make him more intimidating then the movie Bowser.

Since then I've settled down and thought that a purely evil Bowser is not that interesting.. or lore accurate. So I began to lean on him being a rather good dad, if not emotionally awkward.

....buuut then I saw the movie, and now I'm back on the Bowser hate train <XDD I guess right now its up in the air. He's not meant to be intentionally abusive or awful to his kids though. I'm thinking that maybe the gentle fatherly side of Bowser was usually brought out by his wife.. Since she's gone now.. well.. I guess he's a little emotionally absent at the least-

As strictly a King, I'm thinking that he's pretty rough. At least he's more ruthless than he may have been before. I guess a way to describe him as King would be.. The health and safety of his people are not his #1 concern. The strength of his kingdom and his position of power however, is. Though this Bowser is subject to change.. :/

XD He'd probably look like this 👇

@kaiserdarken

I'm not sure if the Pizzaplex would have decorated the place for Easter or not.. In present day or in the past.

But if they did in the past, I imagine it didn't feel much different compared to any other time of the year..

And if the present day Pizzaplex celebrates it..? I imagine its hard for the animatronics to see all the bunny imagery everywhere.. 💔

@beryl-shade

Google seems to suggest that there are no sirens in the games.. :( So Blue Beauty wouldn't be one, 😔

@hazardhazel20

Thank you!! I'm glad you do! :DD

You mean my Refinedtale Toriel.?

Man.. I'm sure she does.. (Though heck if I know what their names would be or any of that stuff-- but I'm sure Toriel would know <XDD)

Ooooo that's a good idea! :00 I haven't thought about it that way before..

@collisionofthestars-newblog

That sounds really fun actually! And normally I could see that happening.. though unfortunately, some of the structures I have set up in my AU make this scenario less likely..

For one, I intended for healing magic to be extremely complex and very difficult to master. And its intended to always leave a mark of some kind. A warning that Kamek gives to Lemmy and Iggy is something along the lines of "Whether you are healing, or destroying. Magic will always leave a scar." That's why Iggy's eyes look so strange and half of Lemmy's face and hair is discolored. The act of repairing their eyes left a mark on them..

What I mean by this, is that Kamek couldn't just turn around and heal them after every sparring session. Because it is very challenging to heal with magic and they would both be left with scars.. So they would both have to heal naturally over time after sparring. And considering that the Commander has a very important job, it would be wise to not tire him out or injure for the sake of some emotional relief.. :(

Although.. there could be a more mild version of this perhaps? Where the commander is involved in Bowser's training.? But not as his opponent. Perhaps he flies up high and chucks projectiles at Bowser for him to deflect. But not really getting involved on a way beyond that where he becomes overly exhausted or inured.

...Now for the Koopalings?? Dude, that's genius. Bowser is a hefty opponent and is sure to exhaust Commander and possibly even injure him.. But the Koopalings?? Commander would make a GREAT sparring partner for nearly all of them! :00

Specifically I can see him sparing with Morton, Roy, Ludwig and possibly Iggy. (The older Koopalings primarily) Whether its just muscle against muscle or being Iggy's target practice, I think he'd make a great sparring partner for the youngins :}}

It started with being inspired by my band-aid covered hands (due to dry hands and cat scratches) and adding them into my sona

Nowadays its maintained by me having reaaaaally dry hands 💀 (I wash them way to often/harshly and don't rehydrate with lotion often enough-)

You mean the factual fam? Aw, I'd like to think so. :}}}

Bold of you to assume Jangles doesn't have hair

What's everybody's (main) love language?

That's an interesting question!

I had to wonder about it and do some research before replying, and I am still not 100% sure abt my answer yet since this is the first time I actively think about it.

Since I saw some articles claiming that Love Language was the one you speak to others and other articles claming that it is he one you want others to speak to you (how you show affection vs how you like to receive it basically), I decided to cover both possibilities to be sure!

The Adults first!

King Bowser:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Gift-giving (mostly with his younger kids or when he tries to impress the Princess of Mushrooms in a kind way) and Words of Affirmation (mostly towards his older kids and, very rarely, to Kamek or even to his... "enemies-but-sort-of-friends" during truces)

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Quality Time (not having so much free time for himself and to spend with his family, he treasure it quite a lot when he can spend a day with Junior playing together or with any of the others talking, chilling of even fight-training)

Kamek:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Act of Service (in a loyal servant of the Royal Family way, but also in a parenting way)

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Acts of Service (being used to be the one doing doing chores and helping others, if you surprise him with some unexpected help he'll be extremely grateful) and Gift-Giving (especially from the kids; he collects every little drawing or silly thingamajic the dragon-turtle hatchlings gifted him during the years).

The Royal Kids

Bowser Jr:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Gift-giving (he will cover you with cool drawings if he really likes you) and Physical Touch (he likes to *hug* his siblings and his father, especially when he notices them being under the weather or when he is really happy or grateful for something).

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Words of Affirmation (mostly from his father) and Quality Time (both with his dad or his favorite siblings). He also enjoys gifts and acts of services too, but he's so used to them that he barely notice them; he will only accept hugs when in the right mood.

Larry:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Quality Time (if he likes you, he will gladly show you all the cool things he can do and all the cool stuff and games he owns. He will also spend the day playing games with you, as he does mostly with Junior, Morton and Iggy.)

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Words of Affirmation (he will crave them from his older siblings, especially if he just did something *cool* and is waiting for some compliments, and from Bowser after a mission) and Acts of Service (he hates doing chores, and if someone does them for him, Larry will be extremely thankful to the person for the whole day).

Morton:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Acts of Service (especially towards his younger brothers, generally packing stuff for them such as snacks or useful tools they could forget about, and watching over them when needed) and Quality Time (he will play with Junior and Larry, listen to Wendy or Ludwig complaining, training with Roy and letting Lemmy ride his shell to feel tall when traveling together. Most of all, he will spend a lot of time with Iggy when he's doing his researches)

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Physical Touch (mostly friendly hugs; his siblings say Morton is very hug-shaped for this very reason) and Words of Affirmation (he doesn't care about insults and such, but he do likes compliments and encouragements a lot).

Wendy:

Love Language(s) she speaks: Acts of Service (she's the one that likes the most to plan trips, SPA days, shopping sessions for herself and others, too. She can spend hours choosing which city or monument or even big mall they are going to visit next during a vacantion, and she'll do it with pleasure) and Quality Time (often related to the shared time she planned in advance for her whole family or just for the siblings she likes to hang out more with. She can share her time with her occasional boyfriend(s), her friends or even with her favorite soldiers from her own division).

Type(s) of affection she likes to receive most: Gift-Giving (but she will only accept perfectly chosen gifts, from her favorite brands and collections) and Quality Time (you can be sure Wendy considers you a trusted person when she starts freely complaining about wathever minor inconvenience ruined her morning in your presence).

Iggy:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Gift-Giving and Acts of Servce (both often related to his habit of spending days with blueprints and projects working on various useful or cool gadgets thinking about someone he cares about; he will lately give them to the person, even if his inventions are not always... well received).

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: Quality Time (especially spending hours together talking about science, mechanic or even weird plants and animals, collecting and classyfing stuff from the wilderness and searching for the weirdest bug or funny-shaped flower to add to his collection; he also appreciates when Lemmy or Morton make him company while he's working on some new gear, even if nobody speaks during that time). On the other hand, Physical Touch is a big no-no for Iggy most of the times (except made for Lemmy, that can hug him at any time).

Roy:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Physical Touch (but not in the typical hug/cuddle way. Roy usually pats his siblings on the shoulders, shells, even heads; he likes to ruffle their hair when he's proud of them, and even grabbing them like cats if they are small enough. In Roy's POV, even a friendly wrestling match is a way to show affections to his family or his best soldiers).

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: He's not the most affectionate Koopa in the family and claims he doesn't need people being nice to him, but he secretely appreciate Gift-Giving (especially cool accessories from Wendy or some useful gadget from Morton or Iggy) and Quality Time (he will ask his siblings to fight him and train together just to have fun, but he also likes to spend time with his friends while roaming the Dark Lands, talking about sensitive or emotional stuff he is too embarassed to bring out at home).

Lemmy:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Lemmy is quite sensitive to other people's emotions and needs and always tries his best to give each person the type of affection they prefere or need. Physical Touch (mostly hugs, especially if he sees his sibling really upset or feeling blue) and Quality Time (from playing pranks and going to amusement parks together to just make you company while chilling) are is main ways to show affection.

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive most: He will likely accept and go on with any kind of love language you speak, if sincere. He especially loves receiving Words of Affirmation (most people just look at him as a weird funny clown little guy, but if any of his siblings or superiors actually compliments him or encourage him about his passions or something he did, Lemmy's heart will warm up a little).

Ludwig:

Love Language(s) he speaks: Within his family, Ludwig mostly show how much he cares with Acts of Service towards his superiors (coordinating at his best the Koopalings during missions or following the Kings orders at his best to make Bowser proud), while he mostly encourages his siblings with Words of Affirmation (being used to compliments himself so often, he is quite good complimenting other people too, if they deserve it. He also loves to cover his GF with pompous compliments when they are playing music together).

Type(s) of affection he likes to receive the most: He mostly enjoys when his loved ones want to spend some Quality Time with him (especially if they share a passion together, such as peforming music - like with Wendy or his GF - or spray painting with Iggy, Morton, Larry and Junior, but also spending a day visiting nice places and eating out is something he really likes). He recently discovered that Physical Touch is something he is able to enjoy, too, but only if we talk about cuddles with his girlfriend.

Do you think that Clementine & Bowser Jr (including the Koopalings) make good friends with each other, or be enemies like their fathers?

Oh I've always liked the idea that Clementine and Bowser Jr. would be good friends, just being mischievous together and pulling pranks on people 😈

I'm sorry if I'm late to you guys' asks, I do see them. I've just been busy and wanted to draw for a few of them.

[maidenofthecloud]

honestly people should start drawing Wukong with Peach's dress. I can just immagine him being kidnapped the third time that week by Rumble and savage. Mk being so tired that his mentor keeps being kidnapped by stranger that are talking on and on about Wukong being their mother and is their right to take him back home while Wukong is tied up like fagoto. It gets so repitetive that even Macaque is tired, but having them distract on kidnapping Wukong is far better than having to parent them. So he doesn’t stop them at all.

I also think at some point Wukong could not mind too much being kidnapped, it is annoying and tireding. But he could start to enjoy spending time with Rumbke and Savage, seeing them acting like children with him ect. He even could convice them to not try to fight with Mk or kidnapped in exchange of a evening where they can play together (Wukong and Rumble and Savage). Even gifting them some toys or candy at the end of the day.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, I tried to put my ideas in order, it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

thanks for asking

honestly people should start drawing Wukong with Peach's dress.

For real

Mk being so tired that his mentor keeps being kidnapped

It's really kidnapping if you can break free whenever you want

mk: wait a second, you were able to break the bonds all this time?

SWK: yep

mk: then why didn't you do it before?!

Swk: because... THEY ARE SO CUTE!

I think the only time they really kidnapped him is when Macaque ordered it and the first time they met during JTTW.

sun wukong, tripitaka ao lie and the pilgrims everyone was so confused as hell 😖

savage: leave our mom alone, your bad man!

Rumble: We won't let you take Mama Peach away!

[pointing they fingers at the monk tripitaka]

Tripitaka: BAD MAN?!!

Zhu Bajie: mama?!

Sha Wujing: mama Peach?

SWK: i'm your... mom?

Ao lie: [🤯]

Monkey King doesn't really deny about being their mom and plays along because he doesn't want to hurt their feelings and he really loves them.

( This is also somewhat based on the interactions between Princess Peach and Bowser Jr, as she never denies being his mother and does not even confront Bowser about the lie. )

It gets so repitetive that even Macaque is tired

which is very ironic because Macaque made them specifically to help him catch sun wukong

But when did they start asking questions like "what is a mommy" and why don't we have a mom?"

Macaque lied to them because in his perspective it was easier lie to them than tell them the truth

Macaque: "hey kids, they are both clones that I combined with fragments of wukong's power that I made to help me get my revenge" imagine how they would react if they found out You understand why I can't tell them the truth. It would destroy them, anyway they are happier thinking that Wukong is their mama Plus Wukong doesn't seem to have a problem with it..

mk: okay but why tell them that Monkey King is his mom?

Macaque:... I thought it would be funny at the time...

mk:[facepalm]

is far better than having to parent them. So he doesn't stop them at all.

Macaque prefers that SWK teach them basic things like reading and writing (because Sun Wukong knows how to read in this house) so he doesn't waste time on that and focuses on training them in fighting.

seeing them acting like children with him ect.

I think swk would love to see Rumble and Savage behave like children, well, almost, they're still scary shadow monkeys.

Although I think he still considers them to be the most adorable things ever

even if they were the most intimidating and terrifying and I have proof

in the episode Cooking With Chang'e when the Bunny mech appears for the first time and who looks like this

mk and pigsy are naturally scary

while Sun Wukong just smiles and literally says "the cutest thing I ever saw"

The same thing happens later in the episode he makes these faces when the Bunny mech attacks them

What I'm trying to say is that even if they were the scariest monsters he would still find them adorable.

[marinerainbow]

Since you asked me about my Mario au tell me about yours!!!!

Thank you so much for asking me!!!

Hum... Well, my AU is nowhere NEAR yours or anybody level of awesome. But I hope you still like this! ^^

So, to begin, I do want to pinpoint that I do believe in MatPats theory that Rosalina is the daughter of Luigi and Peach. I know that MatPat has a reputation of WAY overthinking things, and I don't agree with all of his theories, but I like this one. And the reason, as he also put in his video, for how Rosalina can be the same age as Peach, how Peach can be alive even though Rosalina's mother is dead, and why she would choose Luigi over Mario, is because the Mario Universe's galaxy basically resets itself every 100 years with various differences; Rosalina is from a previous cycle of the galaxy, and since now she's a part of the ship and with the lumas, she is nearly immortal.

The reason I took the time to get into that theory is that I applied that to my AU. The galaxy resets itself every 100 years or so with little differences here and there, hence the various inconsistencies throughout the Mario Franchise. (This is partially so I can have the excuse to have multiple Mario AU's and just claim it's another galaxy cycle 😅 but also because I genuinely think this is cool ^^) for now, we'll talk about the current galexy cycle. Or at least my version of it.

Since there is SOOOO much to dissect in the Mario universe, I'll try to cover a little bit of everybody. Or at least the main crew. If you want individual headcannons, feel free to ask! ^^ I'm gonna do this in bullet points since I feel that format will be better for this.

The World

Even though Rosalina states 100 years as the galaxy's cycle time in Super Mario Galexy, I'm gonna stretch this too... 1,000 years, at least. Because think about it; one century isn't as long as you may think. Peach, Mario, Daisy and Luigi can all be born and grow old to be 100, and maybe not even die considering the oldest person alive is 117 years old, a whole new galexy is supposed to be born within one or two generations?? It doesn't exactly sit right with me tbh. So even though it's explicitly stated in the Mario canon... I'm gonna toss that out the window for my AU 😅😅😅

I know that the Mario TV shows are considered non-canon, but I do draw inspiration from them; in the sense that in this cycle at least, Mario and Luigi did originate from Brooklyn and accidentally found a magic pipe that took them to the world of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi, after getting over the initial panic, decided to lay low and continue their jobs as plumbers in this strange world while trying to find a way to get back home (as plumbers, they can get closer to pipes anywhere and can easier find a pipe that can take them home). It wasn't until that they witnessed Bowser kidnapping Peach while fixing the pipes of her castle that they were promoted to heros.

Speaking of Princess Peach's World, everything is bigger here. Like, everything. From the plants, the wildlife, the coins, and even the people. That's why we have gold coins as big as Mario's head, and why Bowser Jr., a b a b y, is half his size. I headcannon Luigi to be 6'2 and Mario to be 5'3, which although is still small for the average man... Princess Peach is 7'3. Yeah. Which compared to Bowser, that's still small. They truly are the land of giants. Toads are considered some of the smallest inhabitants of this world, as well as other characters such as Fawful. (I heard that Nintendo made Mario's official height to be 5'1, which would make the other characters a more reasonable size when you do the math... But this is a different cycle of the galexy (*cough* my personal AU) so XD)

From now on, I'm gonna refer to the world as The Strangelands. This is the world as a whole, not one specific land like The Darklands or The Mushroom Kingdom. They have their own separate space and galexy from us, hence why we aren't affected by the galaxy rebirth. The land where the fairies of 3D world come from, however, is also a separate universe from the Strangelands, and that's part of why their pipes are transparent rather than green. Ever since Mario and Friends and Bowser discovered the land of the fairies, it's become more accessible... And yet Mario and Luigi still can't find a pipe back to their world 🥲

Building up on that; the boos are a separate entity from ghosts. We see in Luigi's Mansion both boos and ghosts of various shapes and sizes. The boos have never been alive, or at least not as humans or toads or anything. They are the natural born citizens of the Strangelands' underworld- or rather, The Underlands, as they are called in this universe. It's where you go when you die regardless of the kind of person you were in the Strangelands, and King Boo rules over the afterlife. He sets up haunted mansions up in the land of the living both for fun and to 'recruit' more ghosts... Since boos are aggressive towards Mario and Friends when they enter the houses, use your imagination on what this recruitment process entails.

Peach, the Toads, and the Mushroom Kingdom

I'm gonna say that for my AU, Peach is an adopted Strangelands human of the Mushroom King and Queen. For whatever reason, they couldn't produce an heir, but found Peach when she was a baby. That's why Peach looks different from the toads.

The clothes and building materials of the Mushroom Kingdom are made from the fibers of the kingdoms own mushrooms and toadstools. It allows the clothes to grow back when they get torn or something, and the houses and buildings can easily recover from an invasion (afterall, we were able to create bricks out of fungal mycelium that can literally grow. Why not have the same be true for the toads?) The clothes are also pretty soft despite not being cotton, silk, or anything of the like. Which is why Kamek and Luigi canonically love Peach's dress... And also it's because her fashion is on point.

As we know, Peach is becoming bigger than just a damsel in distress. In my AU, Peach took a vow of pacifism when she took the throne, believing that that was the true path. However, the more that Bowser kidnaps her and the more threats that she encounters, Peach has been starting to get tired of it and learning how to defend herself with Daisy as her mentor. She's still the sweet, kindhearted princess and would rather avoid conflict. But she's not afraid to fight some koopas anymore. (Bowser thinks it's hot-)

According to the original games' manual, the goombas were traitorous toads of the Mushroom Kingdom. The reason why they look so different from the toads is because the magic in the Darklands corrupted their forms, making them closer resemble the very fungai of their former home.

The Mario Kart and sports games take place in the far future, when Peach and Bowser are finally on peaceful relations like she had always hoped. She now always invites him and his family to the tournaments. It took a while for the toads to trust him, considering his reputation, but in good time, he was accepted in the Mushroom Kingdom again ^^ in fact, Iggy helped invent the gravity defying wheels we see in Mario Kart 8.

Bowser, the Koopa Kids, and The Darklands

Toadsworth and his wife, the grandma toad in Mario RPG, are basically the Kameks of the Mushroom Kingdom; being Peach's advisors and teaching her what magic they know. Granted, their magic is more light than Kamek's, but it was how Peach was able to change her citizens back to normal after Bowser turned them into bricks, stones, and horsetail plants in the first game/kidnapping.

Speaking of horsetail plants; they are considered illegal in the Mushroom Kingdom with how deadly they are to the citizens. They can make a toad gravely ill just by being near them, and is the most effective poison against a toad, being able to kill them in mere minutes after consumption. And, with various things in the kingdom being made of mushrooms, the horsetail plants can also potentially destroy the very foundation of the city. Bowser intended on taking the mushrooms of the kingdom and turned some of the citizens into the plants to keep any potential survivors away from the princess, and once he took full control he would turn the toads that were bricks and stones back to normal since they know how to create these mycelium inbued buildings.

Mushrooms in real life can boost plants' immune systems and even defend them when they are connected to their 'shroom network. The same applies to the mushrooms of the kingdom. In fact, because these are magical mushrooms, it makes Peach's Kingdom not only the healthiest, lushest and most colorful place in the Strangelands, but it also means her land is the most valuable for agriculture. Not only could you grow whatever you want in the kingdom's soil, but it can also thrive. If the Mushroom Kingdom was in charge of our farming, we would have so much produce we wouldn't know what to do with it! Those $6 boxes of strawberries could go down to as little as 50 cents! No wonder people are constantly invading Peach's kingdom!

The initial reason why Bowser kidnaps Peach in the first place was A) part of his plan to conquer and rule all of the Strangelands, and B) because her lands' mushrooms are valuable for the reasons I stated above and then some. However, at some point, he fell in love with the princess in pink and his kidnappings became less hostile (as in, unlike the first time, he'll leave the toads alone for the most part. He'll still cause destruction, but he doesn't go out of his way to kill anyone. Except the Mario brothers since they are constantly in his way and wrecking his plans). He wants to court Peach, but after the first time, he's pretty certain that she only sees him as a monster. So he thinks that the only way to get her to even look his way, let alone get her to talk to him, is by force. But as we see in the Super Mario Wonder promotion video, we see Bowser is starting to try more gentler tactics of charming Peach when he offers her flowers. It doesn't excuse his actions, but my version of Bowser just wants Peach to love him back.

He does love Peach for her, but he also gained memories of a past incarnation of the galexy where they were genuinely in love. He's not sure how these memories exist, or why they only came to mind when he first met Peach, but it did spur him to find answers, and that led to his falling for the princess (in this world, there are only a few characters who remember their pasts lives. Kamek is one of them, and he used an experimental spell to jog Bowsers memory, and later on the koopalings and Junior once he perfected the spell. And that's how Junior knows that Peach isn't his mama without her or Bowser telling him otherwise. But he and the koopalings still want her to be their mother)

The reason why we see so many dry koopas in the darklands is because the darklands are the closest connection to the underworld. Like you're more likely to find a pipe to the underworld in Bowsers castle than in Sarasaland or sonething. That's also part of why Bowser and King Boo have developed an alliance. Boo has taught Bowser the secret of his paintings, hence Super Mario 64, and provides him a way to utilize his citizens who have passed away. In return, Bowser agreed to allow King Boo reign over part of the Stranfelans whenever he takes over. As long as each of his kids still get their own kingdoms.

Speaking of the Koopalings; kamek only casted the spell on them after their own first encounter with Peach. The kids were confused as to why Bowser would go to such lengths for Peach, but when they got to interact with her, she was... Actually, very nice to them. Almost maternal. Peach couldn't believe Bowser had children and was even afraid for them, considering she's only seen his tyrannical side. For the brief time she interacted with them, she expressed concern and care for their wellbeing and even got to play with some of them like Lemmy, before Mario rescued her. That was enough to convince the Koopalings they needed Peach in their lives, but once they got to remember the past cycle where she was their mother, they really started to get involved in Bowsers schemes to get her back... Even if they are exasperated with him not just talking with her 😅

Wendy: Dad, trust me. Us girls love it when a guy just walks up to us and tells us how we feel! You need to try it!

Bowser: Hm... Maybe-

Bowser: Wait! Have there been boys talking to you, Wendy!?

Wendy: -_- Dad, if there were, Roy would have beaten them up by now.

Bowser: Well, as your father, I need to get a beating in myself! Where are they!?

Wendy: *facepalms*

Edit: I originally said that Bowser requested Kamek to jog his children's memories, but I realized the plothole in that; if he knew that the kids knew that Peach was only their mother in a past life, why did he look so guilty, shocked, and was almost crying when Junior confessed to him that he knew Peach wasn't really his mama? So I fixed it, and Kamek did it on the koopalings request instead, when they snuck in his lab and read his notes on this whole thing. Bowser only finds out later. (Also, Bowser up above is threatening to beat up the hypothetical boys that talked to Wendy not only because he's protective, but because he figured out she's a lesbian and isn't tolerating some guy putting the moves on her. Wendy hasn't told him yet, he's just waiting for her to come out if at all. He's intense, but he's got the spirit.)

In this galexy cycle, Bowser birthed Junior himself (I saw a headcannon floating around that koopas can reproduce with another, or by themselves, and I love that ^^), but adopted the koopalings in different times. Ludwig came first, followed closely by Iggy. Larry. Mortan. Roy and Wendy were adopted around the same time. And finally Lemmy. Junior was born a little before Roy and Wendy came into the picture, and has very vague memories of first being introduced to Lemmy. Other than that, as far as he's aware, his siblings have been with him from the beginning.

As for the Koopalings' ages, I do mostly agree with the mainly agreed census that their order of appearance in Super Mario Bros 3 is indicating their ages; Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy, Iggy, Wendy, Mortan, and Larry... I say I mostly agree with this because I actually headcannon Lemmy to be the youngest of them all next to Junior. Just- LOOK AT HIM!? He's so baby!! I know, he could very easily just be immature and short for his age... But he is the true baby of the Koopalings in my heart.

Rosalina and the Lumas

As for Kamek, he's been working on this memory spell for some time. The past... 50 or so galexy cycles, in fact. It's only before the lumas sacrificed themselves in SMG that he finally cracked it, after experimenting on himself and other koopas (one cycle, he even accidentally wiped all of his memories and had amnesia for the rest of his life. Fortunately, he had all of his memories back in the next cycle and made a mental note not to do what he did to cause that again 😅)

As stated above, Rosalina is from a previous cycle where she was Peach's and Luigi's daughter. It did take her some tie to get used to witnessing new timeliness where her mother fell in love with Mario instead, or stayed single. Bowser being her mothers love interst especially threw her off. Though, because of that, she has developed a tiny sense of a big sister role with Junior and the Koopalings. It grew when she got to meet and interact with them in Mario Kart, though she keeps her secrets from them; they don't know that she's technically their sister from another timeline.

By the end of Super Mario Galexy, Rosalina has made her presence known to the cast, and has decided to be more hands on from now on as her role of watcher of the galexy. She comes to the Strangelands to physically check in more often, and that allowed Peach to invite her to the kingdoms events. Rosalina hasn't told Peach of her true identity, though the princess does feel a strange, maternal warmth towards her that she can't explain.

The reason why Rosalina and the lumas were so involved in SMG was because of the black hole. It was unexpected, and they stepped in hoping to help Mario stop it, but he couldn't. That's why the lumas sacrificed themselves to emergency reset the whole galexy before it's scheduled time. It's because of that emergency cycle that the cast are still around rather than being reborn as their ancestors and clearly remember everything.

Just because Rosalina has accepted her role as watcher of the galexy, doesn't mean she's too happy about it. I mean, she has to watch her family who don't even remember her continue on with different lives every 1,000 years, and is unable to communicate to them who she really is... I think Rosalina might have even developed depression at some point. She loves the lumas, but she still wishes she can truly be with her family. Even if they aren't her family anymore.

After the events of Galexy, Kamek wants to find Rosalina and figure out what the hell is going on. He remembers past lives, but doesn't know how it's even possible. But he knows Rosalina has to know, and he wants answers. He's also hoping to find a way to get everyone to remember their pasts for his own reasons. But since Rosalina lives in a spaceship, it's kind of hard to accomplish that... But hey, with the strange stoic women being invited to the Go Karting tournaments, as well as the koopas, it gives our favorite wizard a chance to finally confront Rosalina...

This is all I have so far, aside from character headcannons. I also have my own original concepts and characters. You know Princess Boolina (the poll is still going, but I'm gonna refer to her as Boolina since that's the winning name), as well as a kingdom of music with a king, queen, princess, and prince. I'm not sure if I'll develop the second one more. It depends on whether or not people would be interested and if I can figure out how to fit them in the Mario world. But I hope you like this AU! It may change as I develop it more ^^

Part of the need for the emergency reset was also because of people like Kamek trying to change the course of this cycle. In this iteration, or at least the one before the lumas sacrificed themselves, Peach was supposed to end up with Mario, but thanks to Kamek, Bowser kept getting in the way and trying his way of courting her and getting her back rather than letting this cycle run its course, to the point where he made up his own universe and caused the events leading up to the blackhole consuming everything just to have his love back. After these events, Rosalina has decided that she should keep a better eye on Bowser and Kamek in particular...

"Hey, I gotta question." Luigi glanced over his shoulder to acknowledge Wendy, who was brushing his hair while Iggy painted his nails.

"Ask away, kiddo." He replied, wincing as she coaxed a small knot out of his dark locks.

"How did your brother react when you told him you're dating our Dad?" She inquired. He turned to face her, a lost expression on his face.

"When I what?" She put a hand on her hip.

"When you told him you're dating our Dad." A moment of silence ensued, and Wendy's face fell.

"You did tell him, right?" Luigi looked sheepish, and the Koopalings all groaned.

"You didn't tell him?!" Roy exclaimed. Ludwig's tail lashed irritatedly, and he facepalmed. Junior clambered up onto the human's back, and Luigi grunted from the weight.

"N-no?" He finally answered. Lenny piped up.

"D'ya think he'll be mad cuz yer, y'know..." He flicked his wrist, drawing a quiet laugh from Luigi.

"No! No, he's known for years. I'm more concerned that he'll...well..."

"It's not that it's a guy, it's who the guy is..." Wendy finished. Luigi nodded, hugging himself slightly. Iggy set down the nail polish, adjusting his glasses.

"Ok, let's logic it out. What is your main roadblock when it comes to telling Mario?" He asked. Luigi sighed.

"I'm afraid of how he'll react."

"Ok, what's the worst case scenario?" Luigi's eyes teared up at the thought.

"Well, he might hate me, he might never want to see me again. Or he might keep me from seeing Bowser or you guys..." Jr. scoffed.

"Yeah, like Dad's ever gonna let that happen! He'll kick his denim butt!" The kids loudly agreed, promising to beat up Mario themselves if that happened.

"No, no! It's ok. If that happens, your Dad and I can deal with it ourselves. Best not to worry about it." Luigi cut in, anxious to keep the Koopalings somewhat calm.

"Alright, so what's the best thing that could happen?" Iggy continued.

"Best thing? He could...He could understand, and be happy for me. That's all I could ask of him." Iggy took Luigi's hand, the scaly claws enveloping his smaller one.

"I can tell you now, he won't hate you. Your brother loves you to death; he may not understand your decision, but he didn't understand when you wanted to stay here. He didn't hate you for that." Wendy rested her head on his shoulder.

"Absolutely! It's only gonna get harder the longer you wait, too. Best to just rip the bandage off." Luigi nodded, the tiniest smile tugging at his lips.

"You can do this," Jr. assured. "you're totally badass!" Luigi smirked at the boy.

"Watch you language, young man." He warned, but by now he was grinning from ear to ear.

"I can do this."

And if he still needed to hold Bowser's hand tightly as he approached Mario's house to share the news, well...

Even the most badass need support.

[nuctoria]

Psss....pssss

Luigi's harem... years later/old couple (interesting option for those with a long life expectancy or immortality)

Ohh, that's actually an interesting thought! Lets see...

TW: mentions of death and fear of loss.

Daisy: I think she is the same or close to Peach's age so her age with Luigi would be pretty close. By now, they're heir would have taken over the throne of Sarasaland so all they have to do is enjoy life without the duty of serving as Emperor and Empress, though they'd stick around to support their family and people when needed. The two would want to go around the world a lot more now that they have the time, especially to spend time with Mario, Peach and their own children (which I just posted a drawing of-). They still play sports as they are still able to be active thanks to all the years of physical exercise but it won't be as intense as back then as there are limitations now. That's all I have really, simple, lovely old couple days.

Peasley: Now this will be hard to predict on Peasley's part since we don't know how long a Beanish person lives for, could be longer or shorter than the human life span. Kinda wanna go with the theory that it's a bit shorter since it's a bean and not an immortal or power and long-lasting being. Then again Peasley seems a bit younger than Luigi so it won't be that much of a problem. They would mostly settle in the BeanBean Kingdom but in a normal house where they can live peaceful and romantic lives. Peasley would continue his cheesy, romantic attitude that stills makes Luigi feel fluttered and giddy, while Luigi shows his own affection in other ways, taking care of him with extra care and tenderness. It's a way of letting each other know that they will love each other till their days end.

Dreambert: Pi'illos have a longer life span that humans so Dreambert wants to stick to Luigi as much as he can when the years starts to really pass, wanting Luigi to feel supported and loved. Luigi often calms him down when he gets a bit too worried about his health and ensures him that everything will be alright. The insomnia is pretty much gone at this point so both their dreams are sweet and pleasant, merging them every night so they can enjoy it together. The best part in their opinion is watching their son be a Pi'illo they can't be proud of, even better when their grandchildren came into the picture, Luigi ended up crying his eyes out in pure joy at being a grandpa. Dreambert actually got interested in Eldream's work and when he passed, he took over and followed in his footsteps.

Bowser: Bowser has really calmed down after all these years with Luigi and has gotten closer to the others, his kingdom forming a Peace Treaty long before he gave up his throne to Jr and even forming more healthy alliances thanks to Luigi and even Peach's help. But he had a lot to apologise and make up for, especially after being considered a world-wide threat. But it worked out in the end and things are finally peaceful. He likes to sit back and relax with his husband and children when they visit but he also likes to become useful and since he's knowledgeable in fighting and power, he offers assistance in training his own other other kingdoms' troops for better security results and how to properly use said power. Luigi really wanted to spend his days in a place with more greenery but he couldn't bare make Bowser leave his homeland like he had to so he used his old house as a vacation house that he visits often. If Luigi takes too long to come back, Bowser gets back on his kidnapping antics and "kidnaps" him back home.

King Boo: King Boo isn't too worried of how many living years Luigi has left as they will still be together as ghosts but he hates seeing his health slowly get worse and experiences the pain of seeing someone you love die. It starts to hurt but tries to make it better by remembering that they will still be together and won't have to worry about living barriers. Luigi is more than aware of his worries no matter how much he tries to hide them and spends a lot of time comforting King Boo and offering any sort of distraction to calm him down. Luigi took over E-Gadd's work when the professor passed but doesn't use the same methods, preferring to interview instead of experimenting, makes for lovely chats over tea or coffee. The two love spending time with the boos and Luigi started joining on on the smaller, more fun scares, Halloween being the best time ever, turns out Luigi knows a lot more about horror than the king guessed and it made him fall harder for him. Luigi started to get a bit self-cautious as he got older, but King Boo was quick to shut that down and show him how much he still loved him. Luckily, Mario doesn't get put in a painting anymore but he still isn't in a totally friendly relationship with the king, he just tolerates him and stays polite with him. Luigi sets his husband straight if he starts to become a prick to his brother, that's a big no-no he won't allow no matter how much King Boo whines and tries to downplay. Looks like some things never change, even after death.

Antasma: while Antasma stayed in Pi'illo Island since it's his homeland and has the food he needs most, he found he wasn't as hurt to leave it and go to the Mushroom Kingdom with Luigi, preferred it actually. It was so nice and different, aside from the grating voices of the Toads, he got as used to it as he could. There was actually a lot more food than he thought he'd find, since there weren't any other dream bats to compete against, but he stills goes back with Luigi when he wants to visit, which is where they also found their colony. Antasma doesn't worry about his age or how long he has to live as it depends on how many dreams he eats and how much power he has to keep himself alive still, but it starts to lessen the older Luigi gets so they can experience being old together. He doesn't stop eating all together, he just eats more of what Luigi cooks instead of dreams, which he happens to actually enjoy. He mostly follows Luigi's lead on how they live their old days, aside from the off chance that he wants to experience something he heard of or saw and grew interested in, the most fun he had was visiting some the museums that caught his eye. Their days together or quiet and calm, filled with naps, cuddles and a whole lot of affection for each other and their children as they grow. Antasma is really amazed at how he got to this and while he may regret the things he did, if it meant having what he had now, he'd do it all over again.

Dimentio: he doesn't grow old like Luigi and he tries his best to hide his panic at seeing Luigi's body slowly give up on him, until he has enough after a doctor's visit and desperately insists that he finds a way to give Luigi more years or to make him immortal in aspect of aging but to his devastation, Luigi obviously refuses, he wouldn't be able to bare that like Dimentio does. Dimentio is in distress at this because he knows where Luigi's soul will end up and he can't bare to loose him and never be able to see him again. Luigi can't calm him down but he does his best to give the best memories he can together and works on building a support system for Dimentio. The jester ends up slowly accepting the cycle of life for humans and spends as much time as he can with Luigi and enjoys it a lot more than he thought he would, finally seeing why Luigi loves life so much. He'll miss him but he doesn't to miss him just yet. All he has to do is enjoy the time given to them and cherish it.

First off, I LOVE your Mute Mario AU it's amazing! Especially your recent post of Mario worrying about his girl going through the same things he went through.

I had some questions about Mute Papa Mario and his daughter actually (forgot her name if she has one yet). What do you think Mario's relationship with her daughter would be like? I imagine it would be very wholesome based on Mario's supporting her and she admires and loves him so much! (I also bet Luigi's the awesome uncle she blabs about while Mario looks at her pridefully and signs something like "That's my brother all right" while Luigi is sobbing tears of joy and laughing happily.)

What would be Mario and his daughters' favorite activities to do together? Sports? Drawing? Go-karting? Or something else?

Also, if her daughter gets picked on or attempted to be kidnapped by Bowser (or any villain really), how do you think Mario will react? No doubt he'll save her obviously, but I can imagine the villains feel this chill as they see Mario's face and NO mercy is shown.

Apologies if this is too much. Feel free to limit it to one question if it's too many questions for you. LOVE your AU once again and hope you continue this AU! Hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much!! 💕

Oh, Mario adores his daughter, more than pretty much anything else. She’s his everything! He takes Mia everywhere with him, showing her the world around them and fostering an explorative nature early on (she’s just like him after all—so curious!). He’s insanely attentive to her every need, and definitely has a tendency to spoil her a bit 🤭 (a very common sign in their household is placing a finger to his chin, then moving it away while shaking his head and gesturing to Peach—“don’t tell mom.”)

But she also loves him so much too! Peach and Luigi both make sure to regale her with tales of Mario’s heroic adventures, so she learns pretty quickly just how amazing her dad is. She looks up to him a lot, and wants to be just like him. She definitely takes after him, and they love spending time doing sports and art together (he’ll maybe take her karting someday, but he’s a little worried about her getting hurt from it).

And I think a lot about what would happen if she was kidnapped! I actually have a narrative for it I’ve been turning around a lot. I think it would only ever happen once, because the result was so bad, for everyone from each side. Bowser kidnapped her (maybe when she’s around 5 or so) without thinking much of it, seeing it as a simple political move. But it makes Mario absolutely lose it. That’s his world. That’s his everything. Peach and Luigi have never seen him so violently angry over anything before. He wants Bowser to understand, and to pay. He’s so overcome with grief that he does the unthinkable.

It’s bad, but I think he’d be sent into such a panic that Mario would seek out Bowser Jr. as collateral, maybe luring him into a trap or storming into the Darklands and just bringing him as a hostage into Bowser’s throne room. Peach would tell him not to, Luigi would tell him not to, he would know it’s a bad idea. But he’s furious and terrified and he doesn’t know what else to do, because what if Bowser hurts his baby? He can’t risk it. He has to make the king understand what he’s doing.

It culminates into a standoff between the two fathers, both unbelievably angry and scared and trying to assure their own children while they have another child in their grips. Nothing would happen. Mario knows he would never actually be able to hurt a child, and it even pains him seeing how scared he’s making Bowser Jr. (and his own daughter from across the room). It becomes evident pretty quickly that Bowser feels the same, and seeing his own child in Mario’s hands makes him realize how much he fucked up.

Bowser doesn’t apologize, but they trade the children, and Mia is never kidnapped again. Mario also holds a lot of guilt and regret over the incident, but he doesn’t apologize either (except to Junior).

Modded Left 4 Dead 2-inspired Doodle Collection 2

Remembering this series exists to share more doodles I didn't include in the last one. Some of these I would have liked to work on more but never really got around to it... These drawings are mainly from August-September 2023.

Full art and extra details under the read more

Akechi in the Hope's Peak Academy uniform doesn't exist it can't hurt you. Akechi in the Hope's Peak Academy uniform:

Group costume ideas are fun. And no I did not give him a sweater vest I didn't want him to basically just be like Nagito...

The Left 4 Dead 2 Modded Team dressed up as my Sonic Robo Blast 2 Persona Team, which consists of:

Myself as the President from Pikmin 2 (Because he's my main)

Goro Akechi as RTGame (Brick em')

Bowser Jr. as The Noise from Pizza Tower

Teruteru Hanamura as Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4 (Shout out this Pixiv post for giving me the idea a while back)

I had thoughts of modding this into SRB2P but that game looks too intimidating to learn how to mod.

Mario Party 10 at home. Morgana is the Bowser Jr. substitute because he's the only special infected I still have modded.

A group pic inspired by this Dead Estate promo art. Yes, Teruteru's posing was intentional.

When I got to the parkour section of Glubtastic 4, it reminded me of that 2D parkour section at the beginning of Danganronpa V3. This is an unfinished doodle of that idea stopped because side angles are weird.

Deploying cat! Based on a meme by zerometric:

"Akechi what the hell, you shot the pilot!" This was meant to be a visualization of Nick Akechi shooting the pilot prior to the start of Swamp Fever. Angles are hard.

[viral-virus-au]

Uhh..this is a stupid question- but hows everyone day/life? (Btw- like your AU :3)

(I'm not gonna draw this individually cause that'll take too long 😭 also thank you :3)

Swag, Karen, Smg3, Belle and Saiko: "Could be better"

Mario, Whimpu, Smg4 and Bowser: "Making it through"

Rob, Boopkins, Steve and Melony: "Doing just fine :]"

Axol Jr: "........"

Sonic: "I want to jump off a cliff."

(I think that's all)

[elitadream]

Hi there elitadream!

First of all, I just wanna say, that your Mario content is fantastic, and I love all of it. You characterize them all so well and I’m just- I’m in love, is the only way I can adequately express my adoration. The art is beautiful, the writing is magnificent, and everything is all around amazing.

Second, I wanna mention, that funnily enough, because I’m in the Transformers fandom as my main, there’s a character in TFs known as Elita-One, so when I first started following you, I read the first part of your name when it pops up in my notifications, and I was immediately brought an image of her, and then I read the rest and I’m reminded ‘oh right she’s the Mario artist!’ Anyway, I just thought that was kinda funny.

Regardless, your Mario stuff is fantastic, please keep up the great work, and I hope you have a great day! ^^

Also curious: do you think that if Bowser saw/heard that what Mario had done for Jr, like keeping him safe, and having inadvertently assured him to come home safe to him, Bowser would change his thoughts of Mario even the slightest, or spare him just that once, because of his actions? Kind of like Mulan, “a life for a life”. Or would he be like “no still bad >:( stay away from my son >:((( ”

Thank you so much, that honestly made my day! 🙏💗 Also I can see how it could be perceived that way, haha! 😄 Very interesting mention!

You bring up a great point regarding Bowser, and I honestly think that both avenues could potentially work depending on how the scene occurs. I've discussed a few times before how genuinely attentive and affectionate my Bowser is with Junior despite how absolutely vile and devious he is towards everyone else, and what I like about that special exception is that it creates its very own dilemma within a pre-existing conflict. As much as Bowser hates Mario and wants him to suffer, he also loves his son and cares about his feelings. Regardless of what the outcome would be, emotional duality is a fantastic narrative element that suits Bowser quite well imo, and there's a lot that can be done with it. All I can say is I hope I'll find the time and motivation to draw the concept I have in mind one day. 🙇‍♀️
